Ze Festival 2024

The Polychromes Assocation is proud to invite you to the 17th edition of ZeFestival, which more than a simple cinematographic event, crosses and celebrates the stories of the diversity of genders and sexualities, in all its forms, cinema, literature, poetry, painting, photography, singing, stand-up, debates, meetings and festive and fun evenings.

Our choices focus on stories too often left aside by major cultural scenes. We highlight the experiences, struggles and triumphs of LGBTQIA+ people, providing a platform for voices that are sometimes marginalized, sometimes damaged, always resilient.

At a time when the return of fundamentalism and exclusion is asserting itself in Europe, we offer a vector of empathy, a cry of freedom, an affirmation of identity. Whether through poignant dramas, hard-hitting documentaries, refreshing comedies or avant-garde works, each film in this edition has been selected for its ability to challenge conventions and reaffirm the importance of inclusiveness.

Ze Festival 2024

We invite you to dive into these vibrant stories, to laugh, to cry, to reflect, and to celebrate with us the infinite beauty of diversity. This festival is also a tribute to all the people who have fought and continue to fight for their rights, their recognition and their dignity. It is also a promise to those looking for a safe space to be fully themselves. May this edition reflect our community: strong, bold, and incredibly beautiful!
Sophie Lannier, President of Polychromes
